Oh, the innocence of 7 days ago when I hadn't almost finished reading Parable of the Talents. The prescience in this is terrifying. Butler never misses in my experience but this one is really just at a different level given what we're seeing in the world (especially the US) right now. Woof.

I love the Xenogenesis series but prefer the Patternist series — but maybe only because Wild Seed is my favorite of her books? POTS is def a rough read right now. Her prescience is terrifying.
Kelly Thompson (@kellythompson.bsky.social) reply parent

Kelly Thompson (@kellythompson.bsky.social) reply parent
…but it was also — bizarrely! — written out of order. So it’s truly strange to rec! That said, I loved it all (even the parts I hated, if that makes sense). But if Parable of The Sower keeps this energy through to the end it would def be my rec.
Kelly Thompson (@kellythompson.bsky.social) reply parent
I love Butler. She’s one of my favorite authors. Wild Seed is probably my favorite novel of hers I’ve read so far (and it was my first) but it IS a little hard to recommend that book/series as a first read — not only does the series vacillate wildly in a very interesting but non-traditional way…1/2
Kelly Thompson (@kellythompson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah. And Running Man literally takes place in 2025. 💀

I find all of Octavia Butler’s work to be pretty prescient. But boy oh boy is it a time to be reading Parable Of The Sower for the first time.

Trump sending National Guard to liberal cities isn't protection from crime. After all - why would he spend millions of tax dollars to protect the streets & homes of his enemies? If the National Guard were serving in a protective role, he'd send them to the states that voted for him.

What scares people (and how, and how much) are so hard to pin down it would be hard for me to answer. But I do think watching Barbarian might indeed be your best bet to get a feel?
Kelly Thompson (@kellythompson.bsky.social) reply parent
Barbarian and Weapons are very different films, but they do share some big commonalities in how he builds (and gives away) tension, they’re also set in very sort of average feeling suburban environments that are terrifying despite their mundanity.
Kelly Thompson (@kellythompson.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree. But also, the more I think about it, the more I become fascinated by this idea of fairy tales. The origin of fairy tales were made up stories to explain real world horrors… kinda like a bunch of kids disappearing from a town and it all getting blamed on a witch. There’s so much here.
Kelly Thompson (@kellythompson.bsky.social) reply parent
Um. I did. It’ll be a short in the first volume. Gurihiru drew it.
Kelly Thompson (@kellythompson.bsky.social)
Weapons is excellent. I don’t know if I’ve seen a modern horror director w bigger balls than Cregger. He is unafraid to give away all the tension he creates, confident he can get it back w a snap of his fingers. And he does. Every time. Between this & Barbarian I can’t wait to see what he does next.
